Yummmmmmmm! Lunch!

I just had to share a picture of my lunch today. My dear friend Joann was kind enough to give me the kale from her garden. Boy was it tasty!

On a knitting note, I am still working on my mom's T-Shirt. It should be finished today so hopefully I will have pictures for you tomorrow:) I have all the yarn to make one for me next and I am hoping to cast on today!

Today

It is grey and rainy out today. I live in Oregon I should be used to this:) We have had such a nice sunny week and I spent some time hiking, walking and running! Yes I said running. I have started running again and it feels great! I am planning on running a half marathon in the fall, so there will be lots of running this summer.

This is what is in my window this morning:) Growing things make me smile:)



I have been knitting some but have not taken any pictures. I finished a market bag that was a test knit for The Knitting Bee:) It is our free pattern for the spring news letter. I loved knitting it and I want to make one for myself. I am also finishing up a top out of Seduce for my mama's B-Day! She doesn't read my blog so I can talk about it here:) Here is a lousy picture of the knitting in progress!

A documentary that ever American should watch!

So I have been taking better care of myself and yes I am knitting just a little everyday:) I am trying to balance my hobbies! Anyways in the evenings I like to watch a little TV while I knit. Last night I watched Bag It on Netflix! I feel strongly that everyone should watch this movie! I am going to try very hard to used less plastic in my life and I really hope you will too!
Have a great day everyone:)Trish

My Orchids Are Blooming

So I woke up this morning to a very grey sky that is trying to snow. For the most part as soon as the snow hits the ground it melts. My lawn does have a little snow on it! It looks so pitiful though I couldn't bring myself to show you a picture. While I was trying to take a picture of the pitiful snow from inside my warm house I realized that my Orchids are blooming:) I love it when they are in bloom. I showed you all the yellow one a few weeks ago but I haven't shared the pink one because the first flower just opened! I love buying plants that flower. One of my least favorite gifts is a bouquet of flowers because I know that they will only last a couple of days and then die! That is not the case with a flowering plants:) I love my Orchids:)




On another note I am only knitting a little this week. At least once or twice a year I just don't feel like knitting for a week or two. It has happened ever year now for at least the last 9 years and I just go with it. So you won't see anything finished out of me this week! I never know when the urge will hit me again but it will with a vengeance! It always does, it could be later toady:) So this week I am concentrating on getting my health back in order. Life has been stressful with the hubby not working. I am feeling like I can handle the stress now. So I am ready to take care of me again! Sooooooo HAPPY about that.

Superfine Merino

I spun this fiber up a couple of weeks ago! I have been so busy though I have not had time to tell you all about it! This is around 350 yards sport weight superfine merino spun by me! I have another bump of the same color on the bobbin, so I will be able to make something large! Oh and yes I dyed it and it's sisters are in the etsy shop!

Walk With a Friend

My dear friend Joann and I have been walking in the mornings. It has been quite nice to get out and move my body. I also love the company and of course nature!




Oh and we are both wearing handspun hats and mittens in the picture of us:)
Okay I am off to get some more knitting done:) Four UFO's left! Woot!
